ERDA/NASA 100-kilowatt Mod-0 wind turbine operations and performance

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5252397
The ERDA/NASA 100 kW Mod-0 wind turbine became operational in September 1975 at the NASA Plum Brook Station near Sandusky, Ohio. The operation of the wind turbine has been fully demonstrated and includes start-up, synchronization to the utility network, blade pitch control for control of power and speed, and shut-down. Also, fully automatic operation has been demonstrated by use of a remote control panel, 50 miles from the site, similar to what a utility dispatcher might use. This report briefly describes the operation systems and experience with the wind turbine loads, electrical power and aerodynamic performance obtained from testing.
